Kamala Harris apparently thinks the whole of America is made up of either urban swells or the residents of Hooterville. And because all rural folks are denizens of Hooterville, Kamala believes they have no idea how to make a photocopy of their driver’s license or other forms of identification.
Yup, we gap-tooth yokels. We ain’t like them city slickers. Nope. Why we ain’t got us one of them Office Max or Kinkos. Fact we denizens of Hooterville with our pet pigs and farmer tans don’t even know how to spell zeerox.
(Okay, for those too young to know, Hooterville was the town where both “Green Acres” and “Petticoat Junction” took place.)
Anyroad. Here’s the clip of Eva Gabor Harris:
Is she kidding with this?
Come on. When I lived in my little rural community outside of Syracuse, I walked into the post office and paid twenty-five cents to use the photocopier. The library in town had them too.
We ain’t all livin’ in Hooterville, Kamala.
Even people in rural communities have smart phones nowadays. They ain’t climbing up the telephone pole to place calls to the Hooterville telephone operator. Everyone with a smart phone can snap a picture of their ID. Before I got my printer/scanner that’s what I did. I’d snap a picture of my driver’s license then print out the picture on my old printer. Worked just like one of them newfangled zeerox machines.
Honestly, does anyone in the Biden Administration have a single clue how rural Americans live?
We’re not swimmin’ in the water tower with Billie Joe, Bobby Joe, and Betty Joe. And the only “Uncle Joe who’s moving kinda slow” doesn’t live in Petticoat Junction, but the White House.
But are you surprised Joe’s VP thinks all of rural America is Hooterville? Joe himself thinks them there backward folks don’t know how to get on that interwebs thingy.
Kamala’s comment is a perfect example of the “tell me without telling me” Internet meme.
As in “Tell me you’ve never stepped foot in a rural community without telling me you’ve never stepped foot in the rural community.”
No wonder Kamala Harris crapped out before the Iowa caucus.
Keep in mind, when Kamala was campaigning in Iowa, she thought it was a terrific idea to fly her governor Gavin Newsom to the state to campaign with her. As I said at the time, “Nothing says ‘Midwest appeal’ quite like Gavin Newsom.”
Unfortunately, Kamala never got to make use of Governor Hair Gel in Iowa. She dropped out of the race the day after she announced he was coming.
Her “you Hooterville yahoos don’t know nothing ‘bout Xeroxing your ID” comment makes all the sense in the world coming from a woman with political instincts that bad.
In reality, the divide in America isn’t about skin color; it’s a class divide. When your party’s leaders are all urban elitists, is it any wonder Kamala thinks the rest of the country is nothing but uncharted territory filled with flannel shirts, chewin’ tobacky and pork rinds?
Kamala has no respect for anyone who isn’t part of the urban elite. And her disdain is so deeply ingrained in her psyche, it doesn’t enter her mind that assuming everyone else are backward yahoos isn’t just deeply insulting, it also confirms what we already suspected. This woman is completely out of touch with the nation she hungrily hopes to lead.
But you want to know something?
I hope they never stop sending Kamala Harris out to do interviews. Her disdain and bigotry for working class Americans is a gigantic red pill just waiting to be swallowed.
